Contains spoilers for 'The Girls on the Bus' Episode 8
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: 'The Girls on the Bus' Episode 8, titled 'Life is a Highway', has officially been released on Max, revealing new twists and turns that keep viewers engaged and eager to see what happens next.
In Episode 8 of 'The Girls on the Bus', Sadie McCarthy (Melissa Benoist) and Grace Gordon Greene (Carla Gugino) team up to investigate a story about presidential candidate Felicity Walker (Hettienne Park). They discover a link between Felicity and a donor on her PAC accused of sexual misconduct.

With only two episodes remaining, it's likely that various plot points will be resolved.
Grace Gordon Greene and Sadie McCarthy's investigation casts a shadow on Felicity Walker
In Episode 8, Grace and Sadie's published article exposes a link between Felicity and a donor on her PAC who faces allegations of sexual misconduct.
The article's release could significantly damage Felicity's reputation and credibility as a presidential candidate. Given Felicity's character, it is probable that she would retaliate against Sadie and Grace for writing a story about her super PAC. This could involve legal action or attempts to discredit them professionally.
It is worth noting that the donor accused of sexual misconduct, who is linked to Felicity, has not been proven guilty yet. If the donor is not found guilty, Sadie and Grace could face significant challenges. They might face criticism from Felicity and her supporters for spreading unverified information.
If the donor is convicted, Felicity's status as a top presidential candidate could be jeopardized. The scandal could damage her reputation and credibility, leading to a loss of trust among voters.
Felicity could also face calls to step down from the race or pressure from within her own party to withdraw her candidacy.
Could Hayden Wells Garrett be the one who sent Sadie McCarthy the burner phone?
In the last scene of Episode 8, Hayden Wells Garrett (Scott Foley), a fellow presidential candidate, is seen making a phone call discussing Felicity's controversy and Sadie. This scene suggests that Hayden could be the person who sent Sadie the burner phone to damage Felicity's reputation.
Hayden may have sent Sadie the burner phone with the intention of giving her false information about Felicity, aiming to gain an advantage in the election.
In a scene, viewers witness Sadie making a call to Bruce Turner (Griffin Dunne), where she reveals that the man who sent her the burner phone is named Declan Morales. However, Sadie suspects that someone hired Declan to make the call.
It is possible that Hayden may have hired Declan to carry out plans that would affect Felicity without directly involving himself.
In the upcoming episode, Hayden might exploit Sadie's friendship for his own benefit, as Sadie sees him as a good friend. Hayden could manipulate Sadie's position as a journalist to influence public opinion in his favor amid the campaign.
